Yes we are giving away a 42 inch Flat Screen TV!  Pretty exciting for a Columbus dentist to offer such a fun contest, right?  We are trying to keep things fun here because we realize that sometimes patients don’t think it’s fun to come to the dentist.  Hmmm!

I have been asked by several family members, “when should I take my child to the dentist?” I was kind of surprised because I assumed everyone knew. Being a mother of two daughters, they both reacted differently in the chair.  Paige is my oldest and she had her visit at 2 years old. She did great and even let us do fluoride. Morgan my high maintenance child, she would only allow her teeth to be counted. When we came back at 2 1/2 she did great and every time she comes to the office for anything, she wants her teeth … Continue reading →

We are very proud that we achieved Invisalign Premier Provider status in 2007.  But what does that mean to you, the Invisalign patient that is looking for clear braces?  We are 1 of only 3 Columbus Invisalign dentists that currently have this designation.

 It is exciting when you get that dental insurance benefit-you just know that now you can get that smile you have always wanted. Dental insurance may have been one reason you chose one job over another. It is a job perk that some receive as an addendum to their medical insurance or a separate negotiated benefit. Unfortunately we aren’t always aware of how the insurance plans work.  I saw a patient this week that was new to our practice and just received new insurance and was under the impression that he had great coverage. When we went over his treatment … Continue reading →

It’s a simple statement.  It’s a true statement.  Yet about 50% of the US population doesn’t have a dentist.  For you dental regulars…. I realize you are probably gasping in disbelief but it’s true.  Do your own survey amongst your co-workers and see what the response is. So why do I think Everybody Needs a Dentist?  Ok, I am the wife of a dentist but everybody starts out early in life with teeth, right?  And guess what, those that don’t have teeth now and have to suffer with dentures or missing multiple teeth probably didn’t visit the dentist very often. So, … Continue reading →

Well, first question first.  Do you use Twitter?  If not, you might find the whole twitter thing to be just a bunch of people telling each other that they just ordered a Large coffee at Stauf’s.  And that does go on. For Twitter 101, see this post. In my opinion Twitter is all about connecting with people that have similar interests as you do.  It’s also about conversations.  If you follow people that have similar interests they will “tweet” about it and perhaps include a nifty link in their tweet which will give you more info. What are our tweets about from … Continue reading →
